Time and Relative – standard
Time and Relative – standard
The harsh British winter of 1963 brings a big freeze that extends into April with no sign of letting up. And with it comes a new, far greater menace: terrifying icy creatures are stalking the streets, bringing death and destruction.
The first Doctor and Susan, trapped on Earth until the faulty TARDIS can be repaired, are caught up in the crisis.
The Doctor seems to know what is going on, but is uncharacteristically detached and furtive, almost as if he is losing his memory …
Susan, isolated from her grandfather and finding it hard to fit in with the human teenagers at Coal Hill School, tries to cope by recording her thoughts in a diary. But she too feels her memory slipping away and her past unravelling. Is she even sure who she is any more …?
Telos Publishing present Time and Relative, a thrilling and groundbreaking adventure: the first officially-sanctioned Doctor Who book featuring the Doctor and Susan set before the start of the TV series itself. The debut Doctor Who book by award-winning writer and film historian Kim Newman and features a foreword by BBC Doctor Who books supremo Justin Richards.

A quick update regarding the COWBOY BEBOP book ... we have now processed all the pre-orders that Telos received directly, and delivery has been stated as being 7-8 October for the UK, and 9-15 October for the USA and the rest of the world (it varies in the US I guess depending on where you live - it's a big place!). I'm afraid we can't be more specific than this - despatch and delivery is out of our hands.![]()

It's now also live on Amazon where you live, and on Kindle ... and as someone asked, we and the author do get a lot more of the money if you order direct from Telos as Amazon take a hefty cut for those they receive orders for directly. But really we don't mind where you order it from ... as long as you order it :)

'Stevenson has written an intricately researched and highly readable guide, the one companion book that every Bebop otaku must own.'![]()

'Three, Two One: Let’s Jam never fails to impress by simply getting the history right and avoiding falling into the trap of connecting threads in ways that simply aren’t true, and which fans like myself have done over the years. This is a serious and well-written work, a guide that’s entertaining for both aficionados of Cowboy Bebop and serious students of anime. In other words, go get this bounty, space cowboy. It’s worth every penny.'![]()
